Took 50 minutes to drive to Goddard, about twice what it normally does.  95 was just wet, but every other road had a fair bit of slush on it.  Goddard parking lots and roads completely snowcovered (they closed for 3/6 and didn't even delay opening today...).  Vis was 1/8-1/2 mile during the drive.  I measured 2.5" in Columbia before I left, which I expect should be 3-3.5" by now with these rates.

The SLR-adjusted EC snow output we see at WPC, particularly at high res (quarter of a degree), are far from silly. Especially when we apply the in-house SLR adjustment. Obviously, we have to pay for it, and we certainly cannot share it, but it's money well spent. You'll just have to trust me on this. EDIT...that is ESPECIALLY the case with marginl BL temps!!

'Silly' was the 2-4" it pegged for the RIC area through 00Z yesterday, or so I thought. Or the fact that this output gave next to nothing along and east if i95 during 3/6, or so I thought..

I should have been more specific. It's silly for weenies to look at snow maps. Our non-awesome free snow maps are terrible. And they fly around here like hotdogs at a baseball game.

I've had 7 inches, with 1.5 overnight. 

 

The "official" LYH via WSET will be 6.5 They were lagging behind most of the day and caught up to within a half inch during the megaband. 

 

Biggest late season event since 1971 where 7.3 inches fell. April 6-7 of that same year-- another 4.8 inches fell.
